I found an art gallery of graffiti on the Thames flood barrier near our jetty at West Thurrock, would have taken more shots only time was limited, ship sailing times to be kept.
There were a few lads creating art also, I did not take any photos of them as they looked fairly fierce, with shopping trolleys full of paint cans, spray tins and rollers and brushes. It was a graffiti expedition.
On the same cycle tour I found the chapel used in the film Four weddings and a Funeral although in the film it looks like it is some idyllic setting in the English countryside, in reality it is dwarfed by a huge detergent factory so it smells like soap everywhere, nearly so much that you spit suds, I moved away fast back to the foul sewer smell of the Thames at low tide.
Then back to the familiar smell of gasoline on the ship, aahhh deep breath.




























This is a test. And Tims Times is witty, insightful and rarely starts with a conjunction.
Ultra large crude carrier.
What would they call a bigger one?
FULCC perhaps? it’s the same F as in ASAFP….but the biggest ever built was only a ULCC, and the oil do be gettin’ scarce so probably no more big mutha’s
